These services tackle smaller repair jobs, including installing safety & security devices. They are provided by many local Age UKs as well as other organisations. Daily help, including personal care, is available on site and one or more meals are available daily in a dining room or restaurant. Additional facilities are also common – for example hairdressing salons, hobby rooms and gyms.
There is often a substantial difference between fees charged to those who can afford the costs themselves and those who receive help from their Local Authority. A majority of homes aim to cater for both, but some target only one or the other. With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available. A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care.
Specialisms and services
Those run by private operators more often focus on lifestyle, with help and care services discretely available to buy if or when required. Housing-with-care developments run by housing associations and local authorities tend to be called ‘extra care’ or ‘independent living’ schemes, and explicitly seek to accommodate people who need daily help. Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold.
Inspectorate reports and grades are accessible from the care home pages on this website. The registered manager and staff understood their responsibilities under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards . Medicines were regularly reviewed and checks were carried out to ensure that people did not suffer any adverse effects. Changes to care were accurately recorded to take account of people’s changing needs. Training records were up to date and staff had regular supervision meetings and appraisals, which meant that staff were properly supported to provide care to people who used the service.
Care home group
The Care Quality Commission is the official regulator for the care sector. They inspect care homes and care services to make sure they are safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led. Also known as Care & Repair agencies, are local non-profit organisations set up to help older people think about, plan, finance and organise work on their homes.
But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally. See CQC's page explaining ratings for more details about ratings and inspection practices of care homes in England. People who used the service and their relatives were complimentary about the standard of care at the Divine Care Centre. We saw staff supported and helped to maintain people’s independence.

We inspected this service on 13 January 2015 and the inspection was unannounced. This is because, at the time of our inspection the home had recently opened and there were only eight people using the service. All the care records we looked at showed people’s needs were assessed.
The registered provider had an effective recruitment and selection procedure in place and carried out relevant checks when they employed staff. There were sufficient numbers of staff on duty in order to meet the needs of people using the service. Care records showed people’s needs were assessed before they started using the service and care plans were written in a person-centred way and were reviewed regularly. Person-centred is about ensuring the person is at the centre of any care or support and their individual wishes, needs and choices are taken into account. – there are some services which we can’t rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
